OP stated that the artist would need a "bird's eye view" to do what he does. Myself, I think all he would have to have is a GPS. With GPS
positioning, he should be able to plot out his course, see where he has been and where he would like to go. No E.T. inspiration needed. Just a lot
of time, a lot of patience, and a good GPS device. Oh, and probably some electric socks to keep his feet warm.

I imagine he pulls a computer simulation and studies it prior to going out and walking
these beautiful patterns. He would need to pre-figure the measurements and scale
size... so on so forth. It is probably laid out on a grid that he can study.

I imagine him using some type of measured rope system for placing between the geometric
shapes.

Maybe he prints out a stencil of sorts, similar to a paint numbers art piece. He might
have a map of which sections to walk first, second, third and stay in order until completed.

No. Creativity is important to me, and though I myself would never "waste my time" in this way, I can still appreciate the detail and beauty. This
guy created fractals by just walking in snow. Astounding symmetry. Very nice.
